10000 Maniacs ~ Cotton Alley


[ music: john lombardo/lyric: natalie merchant ] One time You made me cry Be proud that i Remember My chin is sore The bruise is gone But the spot is tender Gave my hand a sister coy To cotton alley where You did enjoy Your wicked games You curious boy Tied my laces up together When i fell You laughed Until your belly was sore In the brick laid aisle behind The five and dime store That's how I made you blush But doubt if you Remember Were my tears genuine Or those of a skilled Pretender Nothing precious Plain to see Don't make a fuss over me Not loud Not soft But somewhere in between Say sorry Let it be The word you mean I was a little pest who Never took a hint Could never Take a hint You pinched my fingers In a door Tossed my coloring book in a Rusty barrel Pulled spiders from my hair Fingers in the door My favorite blue blouse Stained on the back Running from a berry war Can you hear me scream In cotton alley Scream in cotton alley In cotton alley more free lyrics

[ music: john lombardo/lyric: natalie merchant ]

One time
You made me cry
Be proud that i
Remember

My chin is sore
The bruise is gone
But the spot is tender

Gave my hand a sister coy
To cotton alley where
You did enjoy
Your wicked games
You curious boy

Tied my laces up together
When i fell
You laughed
Until your belly was sore

In the brick laid aisle behind
The five and dime store

That's how
I made you blush
But doubt if you
Remember

Were my tears genuine
Or those of a skilled
Pretender

Nothing precious
Plain to see
Don't make a fuss over me
Not loud
Not soft
But somewhere in between
Say sorry
Let it be
The word you mean

I was a little pest who
Never took a hint
Could never
Take a hint

You pinched my fingers
In a door
Tossed my coloring book in a
Rusty barrel

Pulled spiders from my hair
Fingers in the door

My favorite blue blouse
Stained on the back
Running from a berry war

Can you hear me scream
In cotton alley
Scream in cotton alley
In cotton alley

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
